Report on Inclusive Housing Needs

In 2018, the Inclusive Housing Task Force created a report that called for more inclusive housing.

The Report on Inclusive Housing Needs in B.C. 2020 is from a follow-up survey and focus groups on the housing needs of individuals with developmental disabilities in B.C. Over 800 people took part in the survey and focus groups.

Sharing this information with local governments, community planners, developers and nonprofit housing providers is a way to show the importance of including homes for people with developmental disabilities in their housing plans and projects.
